A new Cakephp based framework for my apps soon
Published August 23rd, 2008 in PHPSince last year i have been working on lots of Web Application,During this time I have gone through many frameworks like Code Igniter , CakePHP , Symfony and RoR trying to find what will suit me best. RoR i learned and used a little but never got to using it in a release app , but i did learn a few of the cool stuff which RoR is famous for. CI i just found a little too simple but i still recommend it to beginners, Symfony was a configuration mess. So Cake PHP is what i was working on mostly , But when delivering Small applications to clients i found it a mess to deliver a 1 MB framework with a 30 kb of actual code. Actually coming from an embedded systems background i like my work to be small , fast and do max possible in minimal code.
So i found another framework released by the author of Frog CMS , It was blazingly fast , really small ( 30 kb file ) and php5 with pdo.But i wanted php4 and php5 support and i was used to CakePHP and liked the way it worked. So i started writing my own thing based on the Light framework and modified API And directory structure to be more like cake among other things. I hate to reinvent the wheel , but using truck tyres for a bicycle dosent really make sense and stripping these mammoths would have taken more time.
I have a basic framework ready and will base all my work on the new framework . For a start it has most basic features of cakePHP under < 30k zipped. Here are some of the features -
- FAST - Really fast
- SMALL - Really small
- SIMPLE - Few API to get u started fast
- Fully OO MVC Code
- Almost Zero Configuration
Before i release my framework as documentation is left and any advice any of you guys would like to give ?
